TUCSON-El Tour de Tucson cyclists braved the rain and floods Saturday.
A few were even treated for hypothermia.
Flooding forced hundreds of riders to find an alternative route.
Cold and wet is how cyclists finished the race, but many cyclists said it was worth the ride.
There was flowing water at Sabino Creek a few inches deep as cyclists crossed.
"My toes are numb," said one cyclist as she raced on.
"Little cold, but I'm optimistic that it's getting better," said another.
There was constant rain during the race.
"You can't see. Your glasses get all fogged up," said a cyclist.
But these cyclists took it all in stride.
"The water crossing is part of the deal. Whether there is actually water or not it seems like something the organizers wanted, so it adds a little element of surprise. A little uncertainty," said Cyclist Trevor from Santa Barbara
One cyclist found humor in the situation wearing snorkeling gear to the start line.
Organizers said they made cyclists' safety a priority.
They had spotters at creeks and washes watching out for flowing water and debris.
"I can only remember one instance where we had a little bit of rain. We've never had this amount of consistent rain in 31 years, so this has certainly been the biggest challenge we've ever had," said Kevin Sherlock, vice president of Perimeter Bicycling Association of America Inc.
Cyclists had bumps in the road.
"I fell and so the grid is cutting into my hand," said a cyclist.
Spectators stood in the rain cheering on their teams.
The crowd at the finish line was a little sparse compared to previous years, but that didn't take away from cyclists' satisfaction of crossing the finish line.
Juan Magallanes was the first place male to cross the finish line.
His time: 4:13:54
He was shaking from the cold and wet from the rain, but he said it was a good ride.

I live in Las Vegas now, but I am originally from Pennsylvania....Philly area. I really miss the good food from back there, because the food out here is awful. People stop making homey food the farther west you get or something. I am a housewife and mother of two. My husband and I love our new little additions to our family. My favorite cookbooks are little bits and pieces of everyone else's. I like to make recipes that people have been making for years in their family and start a tradition with mine.
I love cooking everything!!! But, I love to bake. Cookies, breads, anything of that nature is what I am best at. I am famous for my cabbage noodles(halushki). I am Hungarian, Polish, Chezch, and Austrian. Any type of food from that area I am pretty good at. My grandmother taught me a lot. I have no favorite restaurants. I am living in a city with gourmet food everywhere, but it is so expensive. If you don't pay the money than all the other food around here is pretty drab.

My Husband Loses Money On Stocks—And I Don't Mind
There was the one tiny area of the stock market where our habits diverge. Where he sees opportunity, I see potential disaster. A bad experience with dot-com stocks in my early 20s (they crashed) has left me yearning for safety. It turns out we're pretty typical for our genders. Research shows that men tend to make riskier investments, while women prefer more conservative ones, which is why married couples who balance out each other's natural tendencies tend to do better with their investments than single people.
But we should have expected conflict. Bonnie Eaker Weil, relationship therapist and author of Financial Infidelity, says we tend to be attracted to our "financial opposites," so savers are drawn to big spenders and vice versa. We do it, she says, as a way of balancing our own impulses. While the contrast can lead to disagreements, it also helps lead to a balanced end result, so don't be afraid of differences, she says.
Once we figured out how we differed when it came to money, we devised a strategy to handle those differences. For me, it was keeping investment accounts separate; for others, it may mean sharing all accounts or keeping all accounts separate.
We quickly realized that if he kept a separate account for that one activity, then we could bypass hours of debate over whether he should invest in a riskier stock or safer bonds, or whether he should take money out of our savings account to put it in the market. In return for this freedom, he wouldn't put any additional funds into the account, and he would liquidate it if we ever needed the cash.
It's turned out to be a winning arrangement. I don't have to worry about whether First Solar has made its comeback or if Big Oil is reporting its earnings. When he complains to me about the fact that he lost $500 during one day, I can sympathize instead of getting angry. And our rule about not adding more money to his stock market account has saved us thousands of dollars in losses from the market's recent downturn. In fact, in November, my husband's account briefly fell below its initial $5,900 level—a sign of just how far the market has fallen. He's sad about the losses, but not nearly as sad as he would be if I had been upset, too.

The Early Films of 7 Modern Directors
Features By Monika Bartyzel on September 18, 2014 | Be the First To CommentI love looking at filmmakers' early work. Sure, it might be juvenile or lacking the grace of experience, but it's also the artistic eye before fame, celebrity personas or narrowly honed visions. It's the work they made before output was partially (if not totally) influenced by investors, studios and critics. First films can be like cinematic diaries of the directors' vision – like David Lynch's iconic Eraserhead, which is now on Criterion Blu-ray with almost all of his short films – or whiffs of artistry before the mainstream. Some, sadly, are still out of reach to the Internet masses, though they'd be fascinating first glimpses at cinematic themes and techniques. Long before 12 Years a Slave, Steve McQueen debuted with a revealing video installation, Bear, which only makes the rounds at live events. Kathryn Bigelow "plays down" her first film from 1978, The Set-Up, where Gary Busey and another guy fight each other as semioticians deconstruct the images – a film that certainly speaks to her future work, but hasn't been released for modern audiences. And though someone who thinks they're clever put up a slave scene on YouTube, insisting it was Spike Lee's first film, his debut – the Super 8 film Last Hustle in Brooklyn – is actually about "Black people and Puerto Rican people looting and dancing." Those three might remain out of reach, but here eight filmmakers' early visions that speak to humor, darkness, unexpected twists, and for one – an artistry before an obsession with […]
The Auteurs Are Coming For Your Childhood, And That's a Good Thing
Features By Kate Erbland on March 19, 2014 | Be the First To CommentWhosits and whatsits galore can only provide fulfillment and amusement for so long, at least that's what Ariel the mermaid princess learned in Disney's The Little Mermaid, an appropriately sanitized spin on the classic Hans Christian Andersen tale. If you're familiar with any of Andersen's works, you're most likely aware that plenty of his works have been retooled for a wider audience – basically, kids we're trying to keep from having horrible nightmares – though that doesn't exactly reflect the spirit of the original works. Honestly, they're pretty terrifying. Andersen's take on the lovelorn mermaid princess will next hit the big screen care of an auteur who has made her bread and butter by portraying the particular ennui and pain of privilege, making it a pretty canny match. Deadline reports that Sofia Coppola will next direct a live action version of the story for Universal Pictures and Working Title, which comes complete with a script that's been through a number of screenwriters, including Kelly Marcel (50 Shades of Grey), Abi Morgan (Shame), and Caroline Thompson (Edward Scissorhands).
Review: 'The Bling Ring' Digs Skin Deep Into Celebrity Obsession
Cannes Film Festival By Shaun Munro on June 14, 2013 | Comments (3)On the balance of probabilities, Sofia Coppola's fifth feature is likely to be one of her most commercial; not only is it based on true events (in more certain terms than her edgy if sketchy Marie Antoinette), but the real life tale's rooting in the cult of celebrity will almost certainly ensure that it earns its fair share of fans. Disappointing it is, then, that Coppola can't wring much of interest out of the people behind the story, while the eminent appeal of Emma Watson in yet another boundary-pushing, post-Harry Potter presence is almost completely squandered in a throwaway supporting role. Though The Bling Ring is not a good film by any stretch of the imagination, it is still very much the sort of feature audiences would expect from the director, crowded with an indie rock soundtrack and featuring long, deliberate takes in order to focus on the existential ennui of the characters therein. Despite doing little with them, it is the characters which Coppola peculiarly decides to focus on instead of the facts of the case itself. The titular collective of criminals is headed by Rebecca (Katie Chang), who leads her friends to the homes of their favorite celebrities to make off with their most expensive and illusive wares.
So What's the Real Life 'Bling Ring' Up to These Days?
Features By Kate Erbland on June 12, 2013 | Comments (2)Sofia Coppola's latest minor opus about the perils and pitfalls of being (actually criminally this time) plagued by ennui and blind ambition, The Bling Ring, opens in limited release this week. Based on one of those "only in Hollywood" stories that, in fact, really only could and did happen in Hollywood, The Bling Ring tells a vaguely fictionalized version of the life and times of a ring of fame-obsessed teen burglars who broke into the houses of a number of big name stars in 2008 and 2009. The ring made away with the clothes, jewelry, accessories, artwork, and cash of celebs like Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rachel Bilson, Orlando Bloom, Miranda Kerr, Brian Austin Green, Megan Fox, and Audrina Patridge (yes, the terms "celeb" and "star" are used somewhat loosely as it applies to a few of the victims), until they were finally caught by way of surveillance footage and anonymous tipsters. "The Bling Ring" itself is weird enough, and while The Bling Ring the movie never quite digs deep enough into what made the teen criminals do what they did (beyond wanting cool clothes and rightly assuming that Paris Hilton was too stupid to lock her front door), it's still a nice addition to Coppola's resume and a nifty addendum to some real life strange crime. How strange is it? One of the major players in the ring, Alexis Neiers (brilliantly played in the film by Emma Watson), was in the middle of filming her own reality show (titled […]
'The Bling Ring' Trailer is a Huge Learning Lesson for Emma Watson
Movie News By Scott Beggs on April 24, 2013 | Comments (1)There are a ton of great things in this full Bling Ring trailer, but Emma Watson is the absolute best. It's very likely that her character's conversation with the press that's featured here could be the highlight of the entire movie. Otherwise, she just looks and sounds fantastic with her affected Valley Girl drawl and angsty airheadedness. Seriously, though. She might want to run a country someday. In the movie, she and her friends get the idea to rob from the rich and famous by paying attention to when they're own publicity machines have them making high-profile appearances. They get caught, but they get a few high heels out of the deal. Check out the trailer for Sofia Coppola's latest for yourself:
'The Bling Ring' Trailer Continues Sofia Coppola's Obsession With Empty Fame
Movie News By Scott Beggs on March 11, 2013 | Comments (4)It's an interesting confluence of events that Sofia Coppola is following up her ambiguous Somewhere with a different kind of look at fame just as Harmony Korine's exploitative-feeling Spring Breakers is hitting SXSW. Like a movie lovechild, the first DayGlo trailer for The Bling Ring has hit, and it shows off Emma Watson and friends dancing around, acting immortal and stealing from famous people. Ephemeral as it is, it would be unfair to judge a teaser trailer for not showing anything substantive. That's kind of the point. To tease. But Coppola has such a history of exploring airy what-does-it-all-mean nonsense that this trailer seems likely to be an honest portrayal of what we'll actually end up getting (even despite its energy). Check it out for yourself:
Leslie Mann and Israel Broussard Help Make 'The Bling Ring' Larger
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on March 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentCasting on Sofia Coppola's new celebrity-obsessed crime movie The Bling Ring seems to be coming together quite quickly. It was just about a week ago we learned that Emma Watson had signed on to become the first actor confirmed for the film, and now THR has news that she's being joined by a gaggle more. The biggest name added to the cast is Leslie Mann (Knocked Up), who is set to play the mother of two of the female members of this teenage crime ring – but she's not alone. This movie tells the based-on-a-true story of a bunch of teenagers who break into celebrity homes, and Coppola reportedly wants to use it as an opportunity to break in a bunch of young new actors. Perhaps the biggest break is going to come to Israel Broussard (The Chaperone), who gets to play the male lead. But, in addition to him, young actresses named Katie Chang, Claire Pfister, and Georgia Rock are all set to make their feature debuts here, and American Horror Story actress Taissa Farmiga is on board as well (in just her second feature appearance). With the members of the crime ring coming together so nicely, will it be long before we start to get word on which celebrities will be making cameos as the people whose houses get broken into? Call me crazy, but it seems like there's some potential for hilarity there.
Emma Watson to Help Form Sofia Coppola's 'The Bling Ring'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on February 29, 2012 | Comments (1)If you had bet that Sofia Coppola's next film would deal with disaffected young women in some way, then it turns out you're a big winner. And if you imagined it would be a look at the bored lives of the rich and depressed, then congratulations, you were pretty spot-on. But what may come as a surprise is that, despite Coppola's trademark inert style, her next film is going to have something of an action element. Based at least in part on true events, The Bling Ring tells the tale of a group of fashion- and celebrity-obsessed teens in Beverly Hills who form a crime ring and proceed to break into celebrity homes. Coppola says that the film will "reveal a sobering view of our modern culture," which sounds about right if you replace the word "sobering" with the word "infuriating." The movie is intended to be an ensemble piece, and Coppola says of pre-production so far, "I'm excited about the young cast we're assembling and I'm looking forward to shooting on location here in Los Angeles." While most of the specifics of who make up this exciting young cast aren't known, we do know that Coppola and her producers have landed a pretty huge name already.
Culture Warrior: Directors Making Commercials
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 16, 2011 | Comments (2)We often don't think of commercials as having authorship, at least not in the same way we think of movies. Commercials are created by advertising companies, by focus groups, by strategists; not by "artists." But while the purpose of a 30-second ad may on the surface differ from the motive of a feature length film (though not always), both are media assembled through a particular economy of storytelling devices and are made often by a collaborative company of individuals. But commercials don't often contain credit sequences, and thus the phenomenology of its making is cloaked and the personalities who made it unconsidered. The focus is on the product being sold, not the creative team selling it. So it can be surprising to find out that well-respected, top-tier, artistic filmmakers often direct commercials. Sure, many filmmakers regularly make commercials as a more lucrative and less time-consuming alternative to feature filmmaking, and there are many visual artists who have honed an ability to express their personality in various media forms, but a surprising number of supposedly cinema-specific auteurs make commercials, despite a lack of apparent monetary need or professional benefit. This subject came to my attention recently because of a series of articles on Slate last week by David Haglund about the oeuvre of the Coen brothers that included the filmmaking duo's commercials in considering their larger cinematic contribution. It's an interesting way to view a filmmaker's career, for it forces you to look for their identifying traits and revisited themes via […]
Short Film of the Day: Sofia Coppola's 'Lick the Star'
Features By Scott Beggs on August 8, 2011 | Be the First To CommentWhy Watch? Because kids can be so cruel. We're lucky enough to feature some short films from directors on the rise, but we're also lucky enough (thanks internet!) to go back and watch the early work of established talent. I'm not a big fan of Sofia Coppola's films, but this short shows a completely different side of her. There's a momentum here – an almost MTV sensibility – that doesn't exist in her other movies. Here, in a short that lies somewhere between the tones of The Virgin Suicides and Mean Girls, a group of 7th grade girls plot a secret plan based on "Flowers in the Attic." As it turns out, 7th grade girls can be real assholes. So can everyone else. For fun – see if you can spot Peter Bogdanovich in a small role. What does it cost? Just 14 minutes of your time.

Culture Warrior: A Magnolia By Any Other Name
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on July 12, 2011 | Comments (2)Last week, as I watched Quentin Dupieux's Rubber, I noticed that the trailers on the rental Blu-Ray were all of titles sharing space at the top of my queue: titles like Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins, Kim Ji-woon's I Saw the Devil, and Jason Eisener's Hobo with a Shotgun. All, I quickly realized, had been released by the same studio, Magnet Releasing, whose label I recalled first noticing in front of Nicolas Winding Refn's Bronson. After some quick Internet searching, I quickly realized what I should have known initially, that Magnet was a subsidiary of indie distributor Magnolia Pictures. The practices of "indie" subsidiaries of studios has become commonplace. That majors like Universal and 20th Century Fox carry specialty labels Focus Features and Fox Searchlight which market to discerning audiences irrespective of whether or not the individual titles released are independently financed or studio-produced has become a defining practice for limited release titles and has, perhaps more than any other factor, obscured the meaning of the term "independent film" (Sony Pictures Classics, which only distributes existing films, is perhaps the only subsidiary arm of a major studio whose releases are actually independent of the system itself). This fact is simply one that has been accepted for quite some time in the narrative of small-scale American (or imported) filmmaking. Especially in the case of Fox Searchlight, whose opening banner distinguishes itself from the major in variation on name only, subsidiaries of the majors can hardly even be argued as "tricking" audiences into […]
'[The Films of] Michel Gondry' is a Nice Reminder of Gondry's Awesomeness
Movie News By Jack Giroux on June 30, 2011 | Comments (4)Kees van Dijkhuizen's work is kinda great. While most fan edited montages of films you see online feel stilted and blandly cut together, Dijkhuizen's don't. Just watch the "this year in film" tribute videos he cut together for 2008 and 2009. They're excellent. And for the past few months he's been releasing love letters to some of the most praised directors working today. Dijkhuizen has covered David Fincher, Sofia Coppola, Danny Boyle, Wes Anderson, Baz Luhrmann, and now with his best one yet, Michel Gondry. They're all worth a watch, especially since they're all directors known first and foremost for their style. Side note: This video is also a nice reminder that The Green Hornet is better than it's given credit for. I'll take Gondry's anti-superhero pic any day over Green Lantern and — yes, I'm going to say it — Thor.
Culture Warrior: 6 Movies That Were Booed at Cannes
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on May 17, 2011 | Comments (9)Yesterday the Twittersphere (a place where topics are only discussed in rational proportions) was abuzz with the news that Terrence Malick's long-awaited magnum opus Tree of Life was booed at its Cannes premiere. While the reaction to Malick's latest will no doubt continue to be at least as divisive and polarized as his previous work has been, for many Malick fans the news of the boos only perpetuated more interest in the film, and for many Malick non-fans the boos signaled an affirmation of what they've long-seen as lacking in his work. (Just to clarify, there was also reported applause, counter-applause, and counter-booing at the screening.) Booing at Cannes has a long history, and can even be considered a tradition. It seems that every year some title is booed, and such a event often only creates more buzz around the film. There's no formula for what happens to a booed film at Cannes: sometimes history proves that the booed film was ahead of its time, sometimes booing either precedes negative critical reactions that follow or reflect the film's divisiveness during its commercial release. Booed films often win awards. If there is one aspect connecting almost all booed films at Cannes, it's that the films are challenging. I mean challenging as a descriptor that gives no indication of quality (much like I consider the term "slow"), but films that receive boos at the festival challenge their audiences or the parameters of the medium in one way or another, for better or […]
Awards Interview: Sofia Coppola Talks 'Somewhere'
Features By Jack Giroux on December 30, 2010 | Be the First To CommentSomewhere is the exact type of film you expect from Sofia Coppola. Thematically, it's very similar to her other works. And its lead protagonist, Johnny Marco, is a celebrity. A celebrity (like Bob in Lost in Translation) that is empty and nearly invisible. There are a lot of people who can't sympathize with those with success. It's a cynical response, and Coppola doesn't seem to understand it as well. There's something saddening and universal about Johnny Marco that people without large bank accounts should be able to connect with. Most of Coppola's leads are always lost and trying to find footing in their lives. Coppola explores similar themes quite frequently from isolation to empty success, and revisiting those themes and trying to keep it fresh is something the acclaimed director discussed below. Coppola was swift in her responses, but always to the point. Thankfully, I had plenty of time with her and found her to be quite pleasant and passionate.
5 Best Directors For 'Halo' That Won't Get the Job But Should
Cinematic Listology By FSR Staff on October 22, 2010 | Comments (8)So the news cycle has already moved on to chirping about The Hobbit (making it feel like January again) and about Steven Spielberg making a robot movie (making it feel like 2005 and 2001 again), but that won't stop us from going all the way back to last week and continuing the conversation about Halo. With renewed efforts being made to bring it to the screen, the question continues to be who the best director would be for the job. We don't know the answer to that, but we do know who would make the most interesting version of Master Chief blasting the slaughter dew right out of some alien hordes. That's why we gathered together the bold (sometimes twisted) minds of the Rejects to answer the call and deliver a list of a few directors who would look outside the box to turn something incredibly commercial into something either brilliant or completely inaccessible. Without further ado, here's the list:
'Somewhere' Trailer: Sofia Coppola Explores the Rough Lives of Rich People
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 15, 2010 | Comments (3)Focus Features has unleashed the first trailer for Sofia Coppola's upcoming film Somewhere, a drama about a bad boy actor (Stephen Dorff) who — while struggling to survive life at the Chateau Marmont — is forced to reconnect with his 11-year old daughter (Elle Fanning). There's nothing like a rags-to-riches tale about privileged people with substance abuse problems and issues with taking responsibility for themselves. Am I right?

This easy, yet stunning roast pork recipe of two flattened tenderloins sandwiched together is great served hot for dinner or cold for picnics and parties.
knob of butter
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large banana (long) shallot, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 eating apple, such as Gala
75g/2½oz ready-to-eat dried apricots, quartered
50g/1¾oz sultanas
3 balls stem ginger in syrup, drained, roughly chopped
75g/2½oz fresh white breadcrumbs
1 tsp ground ginger
1 lemon, finely grated zest and juice
3 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 heaped tsp flaked sea salt, plus extra to season
freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp stem ginger syrup (from the jar)
2 x 500g/1lb 2oz pork fillets (tenderloin)
16 rindless smoked streaky bacon rashers, thinly sliced
sunflower oil, for greasing
100ml/3½fl oz ginger wine
100ml/3½fl oz double cream
1 tsp cornflour
freshly cooked green vegetables
To make the stuffing, melt the butter with the oil in a large non-stick frying pan and gently fry the shallot and garlic for five minutes, stirring regularly until softened, but not coloured. Peel the apple and cut into quarters. Remove the core and roughly chop the flesh.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the apple, apricots, sultanas, stem ginger, breadcrumbs, ground ginger, lemon zest and juice and the herbs. Season with salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and mix well together. Add the measured stem ginger syrup and mix again until the stuffing comes together. Leave to cool.
Put the pork tenderloins on a board and, using a sharp knife, carefully trim off as much excess fat and sinew as possible. Place one of the tenderloins between two sheets of cling film and bash with a rolling pin until around 1cm/½in thick. Put to one side and repeat the same process with the other tenderloin.
Place a large clean sheet of cling film on the board and arrange the bacon in slightly overlapping lengths on top; making a bacon rectangle roughly 32x28cm/13x11in. (A little longer and just over three times as wide as the flattened pork.) If some of the rashers are a little short, stretch with the back of a knife.
Place one of the tenderloins in the centre of the bacon and spread the stuffing on top. Cover with the other tenderloin to sandwich the stuffing. Bring the bacon up over the top of the pork to enclose it completely, using the cling film to help you. Wrap tightly in more cling film to help hold the shape. Place the pork parcel on its side on a small tray and chill in the fridge for one hour. (At this stage, the pork can be kept overnight in the fridge if preparing ahead.)
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C (fan)/Gas 6. Unwrap the pork and place on a lightly greased baking tray, with the ends of the bacon underneath. Roast in the oven for about 50 minutes, or until the bacon is crisp and the pork is piping hot throughout.
Remove the tray from the oven and transfer the pork to a board or warmed serving platter. Cover with foil and leave to rest. (If serving the meat cold, simply allow to cool and then wrap in foil and keep in the fridge.)
Put the baking tray on the hob and add 200ml/7fl oz water. Bring to a simmer over a medium heat and cook for two minutes, stirring constantly and lifting the sticky juices from the bottom of the tin. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve into a small saucepan. Add any juices that have collected beneath the pork. Pour the ginger wine and cream into the same saucepan and bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring
Mix the cornflour with the one teaspoon of cold water in a small bowl until smooth. Pour into the sauce and bubble for about a couple of minutes until thickened, stirring. Remove from the heat and add salt and pepper to taste. (You can even add a dash more ginger wine if the sauce needs it.)
Carve the pork into slices and divide between six warmed dinner plates. Spoon a little of the ginger sauce over each serving of pork. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and some freshly cooked green vegetables.

This is a good way to get some protein and carbohydrates in the morning. I usually try to have all the bacon precooked so that it cuts the cook time in half in the morning. I usually serve it with a smoothie and another fruit. (this recipe is for 1 sandwich)

Montana Republicans win wild legislative session, tighten election laws
Despite loud protests and efforts to stall by Democrats, Republican proposals to tighten voter registration and restrict the rights of third parties in general elections passed Friday in Montana.
Kathryn Haake/AP
Helena, Mont.
Over loud objections from Democrats, Montana's Republican-controlled Senate on Friday voted to put proposals on the 2014 ballot that would tighten voter registration and restrict the rights of third parties to compete in general elections.
The measures, which are expected to be approved by the Republican-majority House, do not need approval from the Democratic governor. They would go before Montana voters in November of next year.
Democrats tried to stall action on the bills through a rarely used parliamentary procedure, demanding that the vote be delayed until a missing Democratic senator was found and brought into the chamber.
But Republicans moved forward anyway, prompting Democrats to leap to their feet, shout objections and pound on their desks with everything from coffee mugs to copies of the Montana constitution.

A benchmark gauge of U.S. corporate credit risk fell to the lowest level in eight months as the Federal Reserve said 15 of the 19 largest U.S. banks could maintain adequate capital levels even in a recession scenario in which they continue paying dividends and buy back stock.
The Markit CDX North America Investment Grade Index, which investors use to hedge against losses on corporate debt or to speculate on creditworthiness, declined 3.7 basis points to a mid-price of 91.7 basis points as of 6 p.m. in New York, according to Markit Group Ltd. That's the biggest decline since Feb. 3 for the index, which is at the lowest level since July 7.
The measure decreased as the central bank report showed that nearly three years of economic expansion have helped U.S. banks raise profits, rebuild capital and increase liquidity after the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. in 2008 almost toppled the financial system. The U.S. central bank said the economic outlook has improved as the labor market gathers strength.
"The upbeat expectations regarding stress test results have provided a lift to risk assets," Raymond Stone, an economist at Stone & McCarthy Research Associates in Princeton, New Jersey, wrote in an e-mail message.
The default swaps index, which typically falls as investor confidence improves and rises as it deteriorates, has decreased from this year's high of 120.3 on Jan. 2.
The cost to protect Citigroup Inc.'s debt from default for five years climbed after the Fed said the third-largest U.S. bank failed to meet minimum capital requirements in the stress test.
Citigroup Swaps Rise
Citigroup Inc. (C), the lender that took the most government aid during the financial crisis, said it will resubmit its capital plan to regulators after failing to meet some minimum standards in the stress tests.
SunTrust Banks Inc., Ally Financial Inc. and MetLife Inc. also fell short by at least one measure under the central bank's most dire economic scenario. Ally also intends to resubmit its plan, the company said in a statement.
Default swaps on Citigroup increased to as much as 215 basis points from 200 basis points before the Fed assessment, according to broker Phoenix Partners Group. The contracts, which typically rise as investor confidence deteriorates, eased to 210 basis points as of 4:56 p.m. in New York, Phoenix data show.
A basis point equals $1,000 annually on a contract protecting $10 million of debt. Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt.

No matter what the market's doing, a certain breed of entrepreneur tends to come out on top — or should we say, breeds? Domestic short hair, Persian, Siamese — if you have the right breed of cat, or at least one with a certain look, you may be feeding kitty treats to a potential gold mine.
Luckily, there's a road map to feline stardom — published Tuesday, it's called How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity: A Guide to Financial Freedom.
But not every cat has what it takes, and trying to claw your way to the top can leave a few scratches. Like, 19 or so — that's how many my cat Bruiser inflicted during a trip to the groomer.
For years my husband and I have been taking photos of Bruiser wearing hats. And Chapter 1 of How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity is titled "Grooming Your Star," so our first stop was Bonnie's Dog and Cat Grooming in Washington, D.C.'s Capitol Hill neighborhood. Turns out a lot of big-name pets go here.
"You know, we did Ben Bernanke's dog for years and now he's retired, Tinker Bernanke," says business owner Bonnie Peregoy. "It's hard to break into the Internet cat business because there's a lot of cats trying to do it now."
One man who has found success — and considerable financial freedom — is Ben Huh, founder and CEO of the multimillion-dollar cat media company Cheezburger.
"I think what we see here is the rise of the Internet cat industrial complex," he says. "I go to a meeting or a conference and all of a sudden people are, you know, I've got iPhones in my face filled with cat photos and you know, it's not like I can make it happen."
Truly, one can do only so much to make it happen. Back at the groomer, things quickly went south. Bruiser was not happy, and I began to doubt that I had what it takes to be a kitty stage mom. We went home and calmed Bruiser down with some organic catnip.
Once Bruiser was high on catnip he got a reusable grocery bag stuck on his head. Purrrrfect! But I struggled to take photos of the action with my iPhone.
"The cameras on them are sometimes just not fast enough," says Dustin Fenstermacher, the photographer behind How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebrity. "They'll just appear to be a blur." If you really want to make your cat a celebrity, he suggests, you've got to invest in a good camera. "It's also another tax write-off too."
Cheezburger's Huh says my money would be better spent on the right accessories. "The problem here isn't your cat. It's your choice of hats that you need to work on." He says cat photos need to be extreme to get attention — and that's why he saw an opportunity to partner with online clothing community Betabrand. They're launching a new clothing line Tuesday.
"Humans wear cat prints on their clothing. We thought we would reverse that," Huh says. "And so you could have a hooded sweater for your cat that makes it look like the cat is a very hairy-chested man … with nipples."
Facebook, meanwhile, is telling me my money should go to advertising Bruiser's page. And How to Make Your Cat an Internet Celebritypromises, "You don't have to be a financial genius like Jimmy Buffett." You just have to have a cute cat — and maybe some heavy gloves.

After four months, they married in February 1887. Once he moved in with Goldman's family, however, their relationship faltered. On their wedding night she discovered that he was impotent; they became emotionally and physically distant. Before long he became jealous and suspicious. She, meanwhile, was becoming more engaged with the political turmoil around her—particularly the fallout of the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago and the anti-authoritarian political philosophy of anarchism.

Although the nation's attitude toward the topic seemed to be liberalizing, Goldman was arrested in February 1916 and charged with violation of the Comstock Law. Refusing to pay a $100 fine, she spent two weeks in a prison workhouse, which she saw as an "opportunity" to reconnect with those rejected by society. Although U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was re-elected in 1916 under the slogan "He kept us out of the war", at the start of his second term he decided that Germany's continued deployment of unrestricted submarine warfare was sufficient cause for the U.S. to enter World War I.

Got my ticket yesterday. Oakland County, MI took only 15 business days. I know it seems irrational, but I actually checked the mail for it the day after I applied.
Carried yesterday to a friend house, noticed quickly that uncle mikes cheapo isn't gonna cut it. The clip doesn't hold grab the belt, and having such a short barrel, my rippling midsectional "muscles" easily push the butt end of the gun over and away from me. Spent the morning removing the plastic clip and re-sewing it on as high as I could. Then I put a couple short wood screws through the very bottom of the clip, these help it grab my belt instead of riding up.
This makes it much better, but still barely acceptable. Can't wait to get my crossbreed I ordered 2 wks ago.
I never go to wal mart, my union stewart would have a fit, but tradition is tradition. Had to pass a Kmart and 2 meijers to find one. Noticed nobody noticing me. I guess that's the point, huh?

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Political party spending should not be black hole
BRANDON -- It's your money. You deserve to know how it is being spent.
Last week, media reports disclosed Winnipeg Centre NDP MP Pat Martin was the recipient of donations from labour unions and others to fund the settlement of a defamation lawsuit brought against him.
Donors to Martin's defence fund include the federal NDP Caucus Fund, the United Steelworkers, CUPE, the Canadian Labour Congress, along with other labour organizations and union locals.
Last weekend, it was reported the Peterborough Conservative riding association has not ruled out subsidizing the legal expenses of MP Dean Del Mastro, who is being prosecuted for alleged violations of the Elections Act.
On one hand, dues paid by union members have been donated to Martin's fund without the prior knowledge or consent of ordinary members. On the other hand, taxpayer funds (paid to political parties through income tax credits for donations) may be used to pay for Del Mastro's defence.
None of this is illegal.
Indeed, Martin obtained approvals for his defence fund from numerous federal agencies. Elections Canada confirms it has no control over how political parties spend their funds between campaigns, nor are the parties obligated to publicly disclose precisely what those monies are spent on.
These actions may not be illegal, but that does not make them acceptable -- a point the parties involved implicitly acknowledge as they condemn each others' conduct.
"NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair needs to explain why his MPs are taking political donations from union bosses to bail them out of their legal troubles," says Conservative party director of communications Cory Hann. He did not respond to a request, however, to explain why a Conservative riding association would consider helping bail Del Mastro out of his legal troubles.
Brandon-Souris NDP byelection candidate Cory Szczepanski says, "I'll leave it up to the Conservative party and local riding associations to determine if they believe Mr. Del Mastro's legal defence for the serious charges he's facing for alleged violations of the Elections Act is really how they want to spend their money."
That's a cute shot at the Tories, but Szczepanski is the head of the United Steelworkers local in Brandon. He will likely be pressed during the upcoming byelection campaign to explain if Martin's defence fund is really how his members wanted their union dues spent.
With no dog in the fight, Green party leader Elizabeth May takes a more pragmatic approach to the issue. "There is a justification for assisting in legal costs when the elected official's lawsuit is directly a result of their duties in public office," she says. "It is harder to justify paying costs for the reckless and hotheaded, however. Guidelines would be helpful."
May is correct we cannot allow the work of elected officials to be stymied by the spectre of strategic lawsuits against public participation.
That problem can be avoided by Parliament extending a limited form of immunity or privilege to elected officials for good-faith statements made by them for the purpose of advancing the public interest.
It would eliminate the need for MPs' defence funds such as Martin's.
Though the problem of tactical lawsuits can be addressed by legislation, the issue of questionable spending by political parties on other items remains.
Canadians contribute millions of dollars in subsidies to political parties annually. They are entitled to know how all that money is spent.
Mandatory guidelines and controls are an option, but any rules approved by the parties would likely be so full of loopholes as to be useless. A more realistic choice is regular reports by the parties, setting out their expenditures in full "open data" detail.
With that information in hand, every Canadian with an Internet connection becomes a potential auditor, capable of publicly exposing boneheaded spending decisions by the parties.
It's a low-cost, high-accountability solution that could be voluntarily implemented by any of the parties within a few days. The other parties would have no choice but to eventually follow suit.
It's not even a novel idea -- the Liberals are trying it in the context of their MPs' expenses. Why not also disclose party expenses?
Transparency and accountability is continually promised by our political parties, but it shouldn't be so slow in coming. It's time for a party to show leadership by taking the simple steps necessary to give Canadians the information they deserve.
Deveryn Ross is a political commentator living in Brandon.

An art exhibit on display beginning Aug. 17 at the Oak Park Arms will feature the work of a local artist created while in Italy for a residency program.
Ann Primack, who specializes in crafting ceramic tiles from scratch, has taught ceramics at the Arms' Lifelong Learning Center, as well as the Oak Park Art League and the Senior Citizens' Center of Oak Park and River Forest. Following the reception for the "Tiles from her Travels" exhibit, her work will be on display at the Arms' Narrow Gallery from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. Monday through Friday until Oct. 3.
Much of her work is relief tiles of homes or building facades. She believes her love of houses stems from her father's profession as an architect, and she's captivated by the feel of a rustic building. "I like things that are old and peeling," said Primack, who has lived in Oak Park for the past 15 years. "I get my ideas from buildings that I see around me."
After taking a ceramics class at age 8 and becoming close with her teacher, Primack went on to major in art in college, and joked that she kept up with it because it was the only thing she knew how to do. Primack recently spent six weeks in Rome, Italy for a residency program in ceramics, where she created new work that was shown in a gallery at the end of her stay.
Her process while there involved taking photos of local buildings, creating drawings from them, and then crafting tiles from those drawings. Her tiles range in size from as small as 6 by 4 inches to as large as 24 by 10 inches.
"I guess I feel like it's something I can always experiment with," she said of ceramics. "It's just very expressive."
If you go
A wine and cheese reception will be held for artist Ann Primack's exhibit "Tiles from her Travels" from 2 to 4 p.m. Aug. 17 at the Narrow Gallery at the Oak Park Arms, 408 S. Oak Park Ave. in Oak Park. The reception is free and open to the public.

In perusing the sold stats in Santa Ana, I came across a curious one that closed in late June. Three bedrooms, one bath, and only 957 square feet, 1415 South Shelton Street makes for a small house. However, the house does sit on a lot of a little more than 6,700 square feet. So, what makes this little house sell when there are so many other houses for sale in Santa Ana?
(Blue house flag marks 1415 S Shelton – to the right of the blue roof.)
From the stats, I'm thinking this house was bought after foreclosing in December 2005. The buyers only paid $24,118 for it. This fact combined with all the work done on the place leads me to believe that this house was a flip. New carpeting, new window, new fixtures, and new floors were put in. The kitchen was remodeled with granite countertops, dishwashwer, tiled floor, and new cabinets. The bathroom also got a facelift with granite countertops, new sink, new cabinet, and new floors. And, of course, the entire inside was freshly painted. That's a lot of work… sounds like it took them a year and half, too.
I bet when these "investors" bought the place, they thought they could knock out the work and get it sold for twenty times their purchase price. In early 2006, the market was just beginning it's big slow down. Well, fast forward to 2007 and 2008 and you've got one mess of a market. However, these flippers still have a success story. With their purchase price, renovation costs, and mortgage costs, I'm guessing they still made out on this deal with a pretty penny.
So, back to the question about how did this small house sell in this market? Well, price was huge. Before selling, it was down to $339,000. Nearby homes (of similar size) are well over that ($575,000, $475,000, $429,621, and $350,000). The house did sell for $320,000 (6% below asking) in late June. The price combined with renovations made this house more desirable over its competitors. While the end tells a success story, it is clear there was a rocky road to get there.
The home was listed before I started blogging… over year ago. I know that at one point it was at $479,000 last summer. Like most homes that are on the market for awhile, there are a lot of growing pains in coming to terms with the market and/or finding the right real estate agent. Many times, I see people pull their house off the market and list it with a new agent thinking it was the agent that was slacking on the job. Well, more often than not, it's the sellers inability to understand their house is priced too high, not the agent's sales force. The bottom line is that price and condition of the home sell homes, not an agent finding the right buyer. Aside from going from one agent to another, it also looks like these sellers had a couple offers that fell through. First in March and then again in May, they were in escrow. Was it the banks that made the deal fall through? Bad inspection? We'll never know. However, for these flippers that stuck with it and finally lowered their price to a real attractive number to buyers (a requirement in this market!), the third time proved to be the charm.

I made the mistake of letting a watermelon species that grows to 20 to 25 pounds up on a trellis. What can I do while the fruit is still pea-sized to prevent the vines from breaking? What would happen if I ripped of all the tendrils from the trellis? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here's a trick: make a sling out of something that won't stay wet, like a nylon stocking or onion sack; tie the sling to the trellis. The sling will bear the weight of the melon. You don't need to do this until the watermelon is a bit larger.... maybe the size of an orange. This works for anything that will get large. BUT... Is your trellis strong enough to carry the weight? |

I had a container watermelon once and trained the vines up a trellis as well. I used a net bag that some fruit came in to keep the fruit held up. Worked great. |

text: I was out with my dog and came across this brilliant tree, without a camera, of course. So I ran home and grabbed one and came back to try to capture it. Unfortunately, it's dark and rainy here today, so didn't turn out as well as I had hoped, but I couldn't wait for the tree to reach full bloom without a shot of it. I fell in love with this tree, but nobody seemed to know what it is. Even a friend had been searching, but to no avail. Desperate, I took a close-up of a blossom to my local hardware store, which also has a nursery, and the clerk said it was a quince, which I said it definitely wasn't. Suddenly, this customer standing next to me said, "You want to know what it is? I have one; it's a peach, some sort of Japanese variety." I searched further online, and sure enough, it's called Crimson Cascade Weeping Peach. I have one on order, but don't have a clue where I'm going to be able to put it!

A technique developed by the Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture, Chennai, will help the State meet the table demand.
Though the Pearl spot (Karimeen) is Kerala's own fish, a helping hand has now come from Tamil Nadu to boost the production of this great delicacy for meeting the table demand. The initiative has come from the Chennai-based Central government establishment, Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture (CIBA).
CIBA has developed a new technique that enables Pearl spots to spawn in artificially created environments. Though the State government had drawn out an elaborate programme to increase the production of Pearl spots under the Matsya Kerala scheme and offered attractive subsides for Pearl spot farmers, an acute shortage of the Karimeen larva continues to exist. This is mainly because Pearl spots mate for life and build nests to spawn. Nests are built only in congenial natural surroundings. The State also lacks the technical knowhow for making Pearl spots spawn under artificial conditions. CIBA has now solved the problem for the State.
Last week the first batch of Pearl spot fries were produced by CIBA. Its distribution was organised as a grand function in Chennai. Basudeb Acharia, Chairman of the Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture, inaugurated the distribution by handing over the Pearl spot larvae to a team of Fisheries Department officials from Kollam led by Deputy Director of Fisheries K.J. Prasanna Kumar last Friday. Twenty Members of Parliament took part in the programme. Others from the Fisheries Department here who took part in the programme were Sofia Maragaret Joseph, Rashael Fernandez, Priya J, and representatives from women's self-financing societies.

A London based think-tank, the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) have come up with anl idea to redesign towns and cities to tackle the growing obesity problem in the UK and around the world. The concept focuses on urban planning and will encourage people to use cars less and public transport more.
Diet and lack of exercise have always played a major part in obesity, but now it is thought that our surroundings are encouraging inactivity leading to weight gain. A leading international nutritional scientist said that obesity must be tackled in the same way as climate change and that we have to transform the environment that is making us fat.
The urban environment in Oslo, Norway discourages car use and encourages walking. In the Netherlands 60% of all journeys made by people aged over 60 are by bike, 10.4% of men and 10.1% of women aged 20-60 are obese. In England, 24.9% of males and 25.2% of women over 16 are obese.*
The worst contributors to obesity were transport systems that make it easier to drive than to walk, cycle or take public transport. Also the rise of desk-bound office work and sedentary leisure activities such as watching television, surfing the internet and playing computer games have not helped matters.
Neville Rigby, Director of Policy and Public Affairs from IOTF said:"We have been delighted with the positive reaction from architects and urban planners around the world. The message that we need to 'design-in' the environment that will sustain healthy living certainly seems to resonate. Our next step is to hold a major international think tank in conjunction with McGill University in Montreal, Canada, in the autumn where we will engage some of the top global thinkers in this area to develop new strategies to increase physical activity."

Drama movie directed by George Cukor, Sam Wood, and Victor Fleming
< read all 5 reviewsFor whatever reasons, the acting by Vivian Leigh and Olivia de Havilland now seems to me contrived. Rhett Butler's devotion to Scarlett is inexplicable. De Havilland's portrayal suggests that Melanie Hamilton is too good to be true, and therefore isn't. Thomas ("Burning Ham") Mitchell portrays Gerald O'Hara as a cartoon character. When Sidney Howard's screenplay shifts its attention to social issues, I suspect that his muse was Harriet Beecher Stowe. To an extent I did not realize before, this film glorifies (almost deifies) a way of life which justified slavery as a state's right (i.e. the ruling class's right). Even benevolent despotism is still despotism.
On the subject of entitlement, producer David O'Selznick and director Victor Fleming obviously had every right to create a film based on Margaret Mitchell's bloated and sentimental novel. If they wish to suggest in this film that to many slaves, loyalty to their owners was more important freedom from bondage, so be it. Their movie. However, as Voltaire observed, great is the enemy of the good...and, I presume to add, an even more formidable enemy of the mediocre. Gone With the Wind offers great spectacle and a few brilliant performances as well as several credible performances and an occasional chuckle. But overall, it is emphatically not the great film I once thought it was. The film hasn't changed so obviously I have.
Some may think it unfair to be critical of a film released more than 60 years ago. I respectfully submit that many films released since then have raised the standards of measurement. They have redefined what greatness is. (Most of them are on the AFI's list.) Perhaps it's unrealistic to expect an historical film lasting almost four hours (222 minutes to be exact) to hold up. Audiences which first saw it in 1939 are obviously quite different from those which see it now. Nonetheless, our nation fought one war to obtain certain inalienable rights and another was fought to ensure that the same rights are extended to everyone in our nation. Any film which claims to portray American history must be subject to the same scrutiny which a book would be if making the same claim. As for matters of aesthetics, judgment is necessarily much more subjective. For reasons indicated, I think that Gone With the Wind offers neither circumspect history nor great art but will always be praised (and rightly) so as spectacular entertainment.
